Presented by Middlesex Community College’s A World of Music Concert Series

This concert will celebrate Pride Month by showcasing LGBTQ+ composers from the Lowell area and around the world. Queer people have made many signficant contributions to the classical music community, yet their identities are often concealed, or worse, their work erased from the picture. This concert is meant to embrace and celebrate these identities, which we hope can one day become the norm in classical music culture. The event will be family-friendly and free!

After the concert, we invite you to join us for light refreshments, which will be served outdoors (weather permitting). We hope to see you there!

These works showcase an orchestra’s limitless possibilities. Pianist Pei-Yeh Tsai will join us for a performance of Shostakovich’s first piano concerto.
